Donald Trump on Saturday took to Truth Social, his own social media site, to rage against Seth Meyers, and Commissioner of Federal Communications Commission Brendan Carr raised eyebrows by amplifying the attack.
"NBC’s Seth Meyers is suffering from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)," Trump wrote over the weekend. "He was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his 'show' is a Ratings DISASTER."
Carr shared the exact quote on social media, without even adding a caption.
Gregg Nunziata, an attorney, public policy professional, and veteran of the conservative legal movement, asked, "Why in the world is the FCC chairman posting this?"
NPR's David Folkenflik wrote, "Nation's top broadcast regulator amplifies President Trump's call for network to fire satirist who mocked him."
Politics & Poll Tracker wrote, "The chairman of the FCC, Brendan Carr, posts a screenshot of Trump post calling for Seth Meyers to be fired."
Scholar Norman Ornstein said, "Utter disgrace. Unfit for any office."
Protect Kamala Harris wrote, "NEW: Donald Trump has called for NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers to be taken off the air in an an evening tirade on social media. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr shared the post, hinting he may take action against the network."
